The error "not_in_channel" occurs

[EdgeToLife]

Hi,

I try to use standalone script, but have an issue:

python3 exporter.py -c    
I encountered an error: {'ok': False, 'error': 'not_in_channel'}

There is only 1 private channel in my test environment and I invited the application to this channel, however an error occurs.

Interesting, I've not run into this one before. It could potentially be something related to bot/user OAuth permissions.

Do any of the suggestions provided here help?

I have the same error. I've checked that I can retrieve the list of users or the list of channels... but I get this annoying "not_in_channel" error when trying to export a public chan (sample prompt: python3 exporter.py -c --ch C03SH3PN). I can't find a way to "invite the script" in the channel. And I'd prefer not use the bot as the method seems much more complicated.
